At most of the larger termini I'd guess.
There's certainly about 5 crossovers like that at Kings Cross allowing platforms 0 - 3 access to the fast lines, 4 & 5 access to the fasts and to No 2 slow, 6 & 7 access to No 1 fast and No 2 slow, 8 & 9 to the slows and No 1 fast, and 10 & 11 access to the slows.
(or something very like that!)

I don't know a thing about filiming track, there or anywhere else, but they're just off the ends of the platforms.

Hmm, for London area double-slip crossings, as Peter M says, Waterloo is probably the last bastion. Those formerly at Kings Cross, Paddington and, if I recall, Liverpool Street have long-gone, when the station throats were simplified using more standardised kit.

there is a x shape point at leeds on platform 11c or something like that it is the platform were the york trains run from as i saw it today when i went to the NRM and then caught up in the Delayed Services back to leeds due to the powercut at leeds

I disagree, London Waterloo, London Bridge, London Cannon Street, London Charing Cross, London Victoria, St Pancras International (High Speed Platforms), London Kings Cross, London Liverpool Street, London Moorgate and London Fenchurch Street all have that type of crossovers however from the platform the best stations to visit are London Moorgate and London Fenchurch Street.

The above is correct according to the latest copy of the Quail diagrams I have.
